After that game from Blackmon and the year long emergence of Shorts, I have a hard time believing we'll be drafting a WR in the first two rounds or going after one of the big names in Free Agency. However, I do expect to see us try to get a #3 in FA or the mid rounds of the draft.

Names that stick out that are projected 3rd-5th rounders?_________________

Here they are all lumped together [potentially] I can sort them if you want someone who can take the roof off however.

Really like the bolded, personally. Particularly Da'Rick Rogers. The guy has a ton of ability, but it would come down to an interview for me...if he's as dumb as some of the rumours, i'd probably shy away. But adding a big, tough, athletic target like that would be swell.

Dobson, Hamilton, and Patton are all pretty intriguing as well.

I'd be tempted to add Kenny Stills to my want list, but like sadjag said, i think we'd benefit most from a bigger/taller addition to our WR group. I like him as a prospect, but i don't think Stills really brings much of a different element to the table from what we already have with Blackmon and Shorts III. A taller athletic guy who can go up and win jump balls in the redzone would probably be ideal, and allow Blackmon to spend a lot of his time out of the slot where he seems to fit well.

A smaller guy who is a real speedster who can take the top off defenses a la a Mike Wallace/Deshean Jackson type could work as well and would bring a very different element to the table. But i'd still lean more towards a bigger, more physical player. I'm not overly keen on Blackmon being the 'tall guy' in our WR corps.

What exactly is the injury problem with Jarvis Jones? Is it just a concern that his neck issue from when he was a Freshman could come back (with no evidence one way or the other) or is there something more?_________________

I'm not doctor, but this 'Spinal Stenosis' business sounds like a potentially very serious condition.

Spinal stenosis is an abnormal narrowing (stenosis) of the spinal canal that may occur in any of the regions of the spine. This narrowing causes a restriction to the spinal canal, resulting in a neurological deficit. Symptoms include pain, numbness, paraesthesia, and loss of motor control. The location of the stenosis determines which area of the body is affected.[1] With spinal stenosis, the spinal canal is narrowed at the vertebral canal, which is a foramen between the vertebrae where the spinal cord (in the cervical or thoracic spine) or nerve roots (in the lumbar spine) pass through.[2] There are several types of spinal stenosis: lumbar stenosis and cervical stenosis being the most frequent. While lumbar spinal stenosis is more common, cervical spinal stenosis is more dangerous because it involves compression of the spinal cord.
